Gratitude ...
Its been quiet a while that I posted on this blog....But I had to write today-I experienced something unusual recently...and soon realised that we are lucky that God made us capable enough to enjoy our each moment of life...
I happened to visit a special game of bowling with mentally challenged people...Those people could not talk properly, acted a little weird, some had tilted face, seemed like they were kids, though they looked pretty much like one amongst us!! Their eyes did the talking, though most of them, could not really express anything that clearly. This experience left me thinking for almost 2-3 days...It was overwhelming, at the same time, disturbing...I suddenly felt like the luckiest human being on this planet! I suddenly saw world with a very different perspective..I stopped complaining and grumbling about small things and started valuing the big things that life has offered me!
I am reminded of that saying "I was crying for new shoes until I saw a child without legs"..God's ways are unimaginable...I think each one of us have our share of happiness and sorrows..but more importantly, each of us is privileged to have what we have! Its not easy. I cant even imagine what would I have done even if I dint have one of my senses!
I am few of those, who can hardly see positive things in life-I mean, I am working on it,but just cant help whining and complaining sometimes about whatever goes wrong with me! Thats me.But that mood only lasts for a while, I dont cry over the spilt milk.But still, after that day, I felt, I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING WORTH COMPLAINING ABOUT! What more does one want in life???Well, its always something more!
This one goes to all those who are challenged physically or mentally-you guys are just the greatest warriors I can ever imagine-the winners if I may say so.To conquer the "inner world", despite the natural limitations is indeed very very brave! Thanks God, for giving me all the happiness in life and thanks to all those wonderful people who make my life soooooo colourfull!:)
